The Triumph 2000 was originally launched in 1963 and then extensively facelifted in 1969, both designs were done by Italian stylist Giovanni Michelotti. The 2.5 Pi or petrol injection was the most expensive car in the range and the fastest. Although the Lucas mechanical injection system could be troublesome a well-tuned Pi produced 132BHP and could do 0-60 in 10 seconds. It also had a very well appointed cabin and with overdrive was a quiet and refined motorway car. The Pi was dropped in favour of the Carburettor equipped S in 1975 and the last big Triumph faded away in 1977.
